I like it when it turns out well. The first one I got looked like Skeletor stepped in front of a barrage of green paintball fire.

Uh, I hate goopy uneven paint, makes it even worse since I am a customizer....I hate when someone who's getting paid to do their job it can't take a minute to paint something right. I have noticeably uneven and off line paint on my BA Skeletor armor, and it bugs me, but I am not touching my personal collection aside from swapping wrong forearms and fixing loose joints....I at least expect the dang things to be able to stand even if they can't be painted correctly....but can't even get that. But at least the last of the 2012 figures were pretty tight jointed.

MAA is probably my fav fig out of the first 8. All the weapons, armor and two heads was awesome and I really wish they could have kept the line going with that kind of attention. Mer man is next and then Teela. My problem with Teela though is she never really looked like the cartoon which is the way I was introduced to the toys. He Man and Skeletor turned out just like I would expect and are wonderful. Beast Man has the colors..I like bright colors. Then there is Stratos and Zodac..which are ok, I dont think I had Stratos as a kid.

Mer-Man for me. Growing up I was always disappointed that he didn't look like his cardback but he was still one of my favorite figures/characters. When the classics version came out I bought 2 just so I could display both versions.

Zodac, i had such a fascination with him as a kid. I would cut out all those card back figures and keep them in a MOTU wallet i had. I played with them almost as much as the real figures. Did anyone else do this?

Wow...That cardback image really takes me back! I can remember staring at that artwork with awe when I was a child. I blame this image for my current MOTUC collection, I just had to have the Original Eight and it all spiraled out of control after that, heheh!

I agree that MOTUC Mer-Man is like finally getting the figure we kept seeing in the artwork. I normally keep the vintage head on him but I think I'll swap it for his cardback head soon. I still like MAA and Beast-Man just a bit better, though. They're all amazing figures, it's too hard to pick just one!

Aw man, who can decide? I mean...it's Man-At-Arms, but I LOVE all of 'em! I was really excited about Zodac and Skeletor too! Yes, even Stratos with his two open hands and head that can't look up while he's flying.
